For this AN HOUR WITH
Teresa Ves Liberta dives into the development process of her artistic enquiry Make a Tea, Summon a Demon. An artistic practice that investigates hyperfemininity, desire and violence through the media of performance, installation and poetry.
In June 2024, Teresa Ves Liberta was curated into a two-week residency at HAUT dedicated to this project. She invited Alectra Rothschild, Fayxka and Tanis Silke Nielsen on board, and together they used the video game Tomb Raider as a means to dive into the themes, reflect on the game's politics and aesthetics, and create an immersive world that stretched and expanded the game's narratives and symbols.
This morning we will share some of the discoveries and experiences we have made through the project so far.
the artist
In spring 2024, Teresa Ves Liberta shared her artistic practice through a worksharing, using performance, video, music and costume design to open up dialogues and fictional worlds.
With Lara Croft at the centre, she explored the ambiguities, mysteries and complexities surrounding the character - and used this as a mirror for larger narratives of identity, desire and transformation.
Teresa Ves Liberta
Teresa Ves Liberta (1998-2024) was a Portuguese trans artist living in Copenhagen. She worked with performance, dance and poetry to explore seductions, dreams and shadows. She studied Shinrin Yoku and ZaZen with writer Zélia Sakai, as well as contemporary dance and performance in the Expanded Contemporary Dance programme at AHK in Amsterdam and in PACAP 5: João Fiadeiro at Fórum Dança in Lisbon. She performed as a performer for artists such as Ana Borralho and João Galante, Raimund Hoghe, Pedro Barreiro, Dinis Machado, Sara Manubens, Catarina Vieira and Rita Natálio.
about the format
An hour-long informal conversation that allows for brief or intense immersion in an artist's work or artistic practice.
It is an opportunity to meet artists in an informal setting and gain insight into knowledge that is usually only available to the people who are part of the working process.
Teresa Ves Liberta was invited to a two-week residency at HAUT to support both her artistic process and the process of establishing herself in the Danish performing arts community.
Quim Bigas was co-curator of this residency.
